hmm... nope, I can't use it.
I understand the thought process behind the changes, (many of which seem valid) but when the questions from my Bible Study Fellowship class reference a specific passage and then says "what does [this specific word from Scripture] mean/refer to?" it's asking about a specific word or phrase. If I go to class and say "my translation uses this word instead of that one," I'll feel silly because they told us we need to all refer together to the same translation for the class.
